And here we are, I have another #Mastodon announcement to make. I guess my last...

I’m sorry.

I’m sorry that I deceived you, but I didn’t know it at the time.

Due to a misunderstanding, somewhere along the way, the one month contract was just that, one month only. I had interpreted it as “I’m not sure if I can make a new contract with the same terms, because there’s not enough money right now, but let’s start with one month and take it from there.”

If you want to support me personally, for long-term sustainable work with Mastodon (in case Gargron doesn't want to hire me or can't keep me hired, or I can't work enough to warrant being hired), consider supporting me directly on #Patreon or #Liberapay.

I’m back from being sick, too sick to function. I ended up getting a month and a half of sick-leave, but it took me a while to actually get there. And that, together with some other stuff, has brought me back, on top of the world (that's how I feel)

Hello, everyone! If you've been following @maloki for updates on the ongoing effort to #ForkTogether, then you may be happy to know that we had our first meeting on Saturday and are still planning out governance and infrastructure before the project "officially" starts.

If you're looking to follow the progress of the fork, or you're looking to get involved, follow here for updates!

The meeting will be done via Discord. This is currently the most accessible option for now, although we are planning to move to another system like Matrix later. You can join the Discord here: https://discord.gg/T2BeU2Q

This account is managed by @clar and @Satsuma. You can message either of us for questions.

But do we really have enough coders? According to the survey, as well as people who reached out in person, yes, yes we do.

We have 50 people who say they can contribute with code. 20+ people who can contribute with Governance of software of organization. Others want to help with experience, money, emotional support, resources. (hover photo!)

For anyone still worried about mine, @Laurelai , and @PaulFerence 's defacto involvement in the continued #ForkOff project. The first order of business at the meeting we're inviting everyone to is:

First Order Of Business: Laurelai, Maloki and PaulFerence are rejecting any direct involvement in management, interim-committee, or the committee of the ForkOffTogether initiative in its first FULL year.

This should offer a good time frame to build the governance that You folx want for this w/o us.
